Key Takeaways
Empathy Above All: Julia believes the best coaches connect deeply with clients, embracing their struggles and successes. “It is imperative that you find a coach who is empathetic and willing to connect and also really learn about a person, what motivates them, what gets them going, what has them returning and what inspires them, because that can be the difference between an okay coach and a great coach”.

Meet Clients Where They’re At: Adaptable and humble, Julia stresses modifications and listening to individual needs: “I try to meet them where they’re at, and this comes with offering modifications whenever available or just letting them know…whatever their body feels, do what feels good to them”.

Notable Quotes from Julia
“As long as the people continue to show up, build it into their routine—that is winning right there. That is a victory”.
“You can have the Xs and Os. You can rip off what body parts do what and what connects to what… But if you lack the personal touch, that is going to hurt a coach in the long run”.
“One thing that I like to do is celebrate big for the people who come in… The hope is that when they’re getting celebrated, there might be someone else in the room who sees that and goes, if they can do it, I can do it”.
